The white strip, with added red detailing, is inspired by the design of the East Stand at the club’s former home, Highbury.
Arsenal Women will be the first to wear the new kit on pitch in their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday.
“Arsenal’s place in North London is synonymous with the club’s move to Highbury in 1913. Quite simply, it was the birthplace of the modern club”, said Adidas designer James Webb.
“We wanted to take the community – through design – back to Highbury’s halls, to reminisce via a pattern that speaks to the significance of this chapter of the club’s history.
“Importantly for this jersey, we wanted to bring these echoes of Highbury into Emirates Stadium, to a new generation of fans, and to the modern player, all via a jersey that fuses the marble style with the latest performance innovations for the 2021 athlete”.
Midfielder Reiss Nelson added: “Arsenal and adidas have a history of creating amazing kits together and this season’s designs feel like another step forward.
“For any Arsenal fan Highbury is very important to what we are as a club, so being able to represent some of that as we take the field in this new marble away kit will be a proud moment.”
Forward Lisa Evans said: “The kit looks and feels great, and what’s even more exciting is the fact we will be the first to wear it in such a big game for the club this weekend.
“The whole team is excited to get back on the pitch and put in a good performance.”
